Vote Smart's Synopsis:
Vote to adopt a conference report that requires 100 percent of a utility company's electricity sales to be generated from renewable resources by the year 2045, effective July 1, 2015.
Highlights:
- Requires a utility company that sells electricity for consumption to increase the percentage of energy generated from renewable sources according to the following standards (Sec. 2):
- 30 percent of its net electricity sales by December 31, 2020;
- 70 percent of its net electricity sales by December 31, 2040; and
- 100 percent of its net electricity sales by December 31, 2045.
